A composer/performer of Classical music. Born 1756, died 1791. A musical prodigy, he began to play the keyboard at age 3, and composed his first piece of music at the age of 5. His works are often regarded to be the epitome of the Classical era of music, perhaps because he the most well-known of Classical composers. Some of his most famous works include the Symphony no. 40 and his collection of piano sonatas.

The greatest composer of classical music ever. This genius has composed some of the most memorable music ever, such as his Symphony No. 40 and the Requiem. His career was a short one, for he died at the age of 31. Although he was very popular, he did not earn much money for his composition. He died in a pauper's grave, unmarked too.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is unmatched in his skill of composing music. He changed classical music forever, and set a bar so high that still no one has managed to overcome.

A composer/pianist who arguably wrote some of the greatest music of all time. Mozart was neither popular nor rich during his lifetime. In fact, Mozart was extremely poor and could hardly afford food for himself, his wife, and his two children. Mozart was virtually starved at the time of his death, he may have lived longer had he more money to afford food and good living conditions.
It is not known where Mozart is buried because he did not have enough money left for his family to buy him a proper burial. It is assumed that he was buried in a mass grave for paupers. Sadly, many composers, painters, and playwrights died unpopular and relatively poor and have only received fame and glory far after their deaths.

Johnny: Mozart was a genius musician who lived rich, died young, and wrote the best music ever.

Hans: He most certainly did not live rich, and to say that he wrote the best music ever is completely opinionated and debatable.
